Its of course hard to authoritatively assess the aero advantages. And yes, ppl will think its either cool or dorky looking. What surprised me is 1. the fit; 2. visibility; 3. ventilation. I've used this in IM 70.3 distances down to olympic distances. It stays in place regardless of cross winds, etc. The visibility is great - better than any other helmet I've used and that not surprising given the huge windscreen. Ventilation is surprisingly good even with the aero plug installed (removable black plug on front to let more air in). I used this during an Ironman 70.3 in 90F (punta cana) with the plug installed. And it was fine.
Love to get into a wind tunnel $$$. But based on my times and place in this year's races, I seem to be more aero this year and the helmet was my only change. Aver speed ~24.5mph.

I wont speak to its aero advantage bc that needs to be tested in a wind tunnel on a specific rider. However, my last three triathlons with this helmet have corresponded with some of my top bike performances relative to competitors.
Yes, its a crazy looking thing like something out of "space balls."
The surprising thing to me is how comfortable it is. Well balanced. Ventilation is excellent, even with the vents covered. Visibility is excellent. It comes with two visors - a clear and a dark one. And of course a big case to carry it and both visors in.
